...What are you Doing?...

What are you doing? If you are reading this, it had better be on your
Blackberry at the Barber Motorsports Park. Or on a baseball diamond
or in a park. The weather is fine! Get out and enjoy it…

PERFECT WEATHER: We continue our Perfect Weather Warning for this
afternoon across Central Alabama. We have posted a Perfect Weather
Watch for Monday, and it is likely to be upgraded to a Warning on the
morning package. Lots of sunshine and mild temperatures in the 70s
today. Looks for a low near 50 tonight with clear and calm
conditions. Then tomorrow will be superb, with partly cloudy skies,
warm readings between 78-80 and a light northerly wind.

MIDWEEK: Tuesday will be warm and a little on the humid side. A
subtle warm front may trigger a couple of showers and storms, mainly
during the afternoon (that daytime heating thing will help, you
know.) By Wednesday, a cold front will be trying to sag into
Alabama and we will bump up chance of a shower or storm, but the best
chances of rain will stay to the west of us. Ditto for Thursday, with
just a slight chance of a shower or storm.

THE WEEKEND: By Thursday, a developing storm system to the west of
Alabama will push another surge of moisture our way. Showers and
storms will move our way ahead of an upper trough that will be pushing
eastward. This trough will propel a front through the state, along
with a line of showers and storms. The models have been vacillating
between it being a Friday event and it being a Saturday event. For
now, we will keep the Friday timing idea in place, with clearing skies
on Saturday and pretty much a fine Sunday. The upper low to our
northeast will be the fly in the ointment.

VOODOOLAND: We call it Voodooland. It is that 7-14 day period when
you have to take the models with a grain of salt. More like, a box of
it. But fun to look at. Maybe a shower late on Sunday into Monday
thanks to the upper low. Then look for a secondary low to develop
along the East Coast, perhaps flinging some showers back our way early
in the week. Hints of a northwesterly flow even around midweek with a
chance of showers/storms for us, then a big developing low to our west
by the first weekend in May. Look for a big severe weather event
around Saturday May 4th over the Midwest.

AN UNRELATED THOUGHT: Did you see the Braves fans in Atlanta give
Andruw Jones a standing ovation when he hit his first home run of the
season on Saturday in Turner Field? The former Brave was all smiles
as he returned to the dugout. That's one of the great things about
the South, we remember our own. You think that would have happened in
many Major League cities?

ON THIS DATE IN 1896: In Sandusky County, Ohio, a violent F-4 tornado
"crept along the ground like a mammoth rock, and smoke puffed at the
top like an engine." At least five homes were leveled to the ground at
Booktown. Nineteenth century newspapers could always be counted on
for unique and unusual descriptions of the tornado funnel.
